Court record There are two kinds of court records that reflect actions taken in a case: the court docket (register of actions) and transcripts of court proceedings. The register of actions is continually updated to reflect parties and attorneys, filed documents, hearing dates, and actions taken by the court. Copies of the register of actions may be requested from the Records Management Department. Transcripts are verbatim records of what is said during a hearing or trial. Except for transcripts required by law, parties requesting transcripts must pay the reporter for preparation. Transcript information is in Government Code section 69950 and following. Request a transcript — cases where the Court provided a court reporter To request a court reporter’s transcript, contact the official court reporter directly.
